Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is ill, the state media reported yesterday. The 82-year-old former head of state is in a "severe psychological condition and is declining treatment despite his illness" but he is not in a coma, the pro-government Al-Gomhuria daily said, citing sources close to Mubarak. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/feb/hosnim.jpg" border="5" /> Other media sources said that Mubarak was gravely ill and had slipped into a coma after mass protests forced him out of power last Friday. He is now believed to be in the seaside resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. Last year, Mubarak travelled to Germany for gall bladder surgery. Meanwhile, Egypt's ambassador to the United States also said that Mubarak may be in bad health. Sameh Shoukry said he had received information that Mubarak was "possibly in somewhat of bad health." He stepped down Friday and handed over power to the country's military, after 18 days of widespread anti-government protests. On Sunday, the military leadership dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution.
